Orlando, Fla., Seeks to Generate Energy from Food Waste

The city of Orlando, Fla., is looking to covert food waste, such as banana peels and egg shells, into energy for businesses and residents.

According to a WFTV report, the city already collects food waste from more than 30 companies, but “officials aren’t ready to give food waste bins to every homeowner.” Residents can bring food in a compostable liner to the Lake Eola Farmers Market on Sundays and then throw it in a bin onsite.
